I have some of the same must-see shows on my list, some different ones. I like Mythbusters, but seem to have lost my enthusiasm for it. I have five unwatched episodes on my DVR, and I'm never in the mood for it. 24 I watch, but every week, I wonder why. I do still look forward to The Simpsons, but agree that The West Wing has gone downhill this year.

The only things I watch that aren't on your list and that I would strongly recommend (as opposed to stuff I just watch because it's there) are Malcolm in the Middle and Arrested Development, both on Fox on Sunday night. (And some HBO stuff. Do you get HBO?)
